I faintly remember learning a word that means an arbitrary hubbub of things, all the to do, a minor inconvenience, etc., I'm not really sure. I thought it was ca. "carruffel", but that does not exist. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

"Kerfluffle" is one version I've seen. But this is a very informal word, so you'll likely see other spellings as well.

From Merriam-Webster's definition of kerfuffle:
plural kerfuffles
: a disturbance or commotion typically caused by a dispute or conflict
// In all the kerfuffle, nobody seemed to have noticed Harry, which suited him perfectly.
— J. K. Rowling
// It's not the only school with dress code issues; almost every week there's a local story about some kerfuffle over what kids wear to school.

Perhaps worth adding that this (as far as I'm aware) is primarily a British English word, and relatively informal.
